Meeting of the ambassadors at the UW research station in Cyprus

On 11th April, a meeting took place in Nea Paphos, Cyprus, attended by the ambassadors of Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Spain, and the Netherlands, and archaeologists from the UW. The event was part of the activities related to the Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union. The official opening of the University of Warsaw’s research station in Cyprus will take in June.

Miniature endoscope for premature babies

A team of researchers from the University of Warsaw and Jagiellonian University is finalising work on a new device to help treat respiratory disorders in premature newborns.

From classical hydrodynamics to quantum hydrodynamics

Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw – Maciej Łebek and prof. Miłosz Panfil – have shown that the Navier-Stokes equations used in classical physics can also be applied to quantum systems, specifically in quantum liquids where the motion of particles is restricted to one dimension. This discovery opens up new possibilities for research into transport in one-dimensiona

UW a leader of the “Horizon Europe” programme

The University of Warsaw maintains its position as a leader in Poland among scientific institutions that are beneficiaries of the European Union Framework Programme “Horizon Europe”. Researchers from the UW participate in the implementation of 89 projects. The UW has received more than EUR 44.4 million from the programme.

New sources of cosmic X-rays

An international team of astronomers, led by researchers from the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw, have identified a new class of cosmic X-ray sources.The results of the study were published in “The Astrophysical Journal Letters”.

“Einstein Telescope” Annual Meeting

500 scientists from across Europe attended the international annual meeting of researchers involved in the Einstein Telescope (ET) project. During the event, progress and plans for the construction of an advanced gravitational wave observatory were discussed. The leader of the Polish ET consortium is Prof. Tomasz Bulik, Director of the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw.

MoU between UW and HUST

The University of Warsaw has concluded a cooperation agreement with the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). The two institutions have expressed their desire to carry out joint research projects in areas such as physics, sinology, and political science. The agreement envisages, among other things, academic exchanges or joint cultural programmes.

New reaction initiator in organic chemistry

A team of scientists from the University of Warsaw and the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana has developed a method for obtaining a new type of silver salt. The discovery is important for industry, as the new compound is an outstanding strong reactant, can be used under less demanding physical conditions, and is fairly easy to produce.

The University of Warsaw has received more than PLN1.5 million in funding to implement the “4EU+ Eternity” project as part of the NAWA Support for European Universities programme. The project will strengthen the University's strategic initiatives as a member of the 4EU+ Alliance.

The physics of transport networks in nature

An international team of scientists including researchers from the UW’s Faculty of Physics, the Laboratoire Matière et Systèmes Complexes, and the Institut des Sciences de la Terre d'Orléans has described how loops, important for the stability of transport networks, occur in those found in nature.

Range of European forest plants

“Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the rate and direction of changes in the range of species is extremely important. It allows us to understand the evolution of biodiversity and may contribute to ensuring its effective protection,” Prof. Bogdan Jaroszewicz from the Białowieża Geobotanical Station of the UW’s Faculty of Biology said.

Archaeological discoveries by UW researchers at Gonio-Apsaros

Mosaic fragments, a gold votive badge and amphora kilns. These Roman-era discoveries were made by researchers from a team led by Prof. Radosław Karasiewicz-Szczypiorski from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology at the UW and Dr Lasha Aslanishvili from the Cultural Heritage Protection Agency of Ajara. The research was conducted at the Gonio-Apsaros archaeological site in Georgia.

Selenium-enriched foods

The University of Warsaw is coordinating an international project concerning the creation of a sustainable selenium-enriched functional food chain – PATHFOOD. The project is being implemented under the Horizon Europe programme. On 12th–13th September, a project kick-off meeting took place at the UW's Biological and Chemical Research Centre.

Discoveries in Miedary

Dozens of well-preserved shark teeth, a complete skull with Nothosaurus’s teeth and bones of terrestrial reptiles from the Procolophon group are the most important discoveries of a team of scientists, which included researchers from the Faculty of Biology at the University of Warsaw, following the tenth excavation season in Miedary.

History of five generations of the Lombards

Archaeologists from the University of Warsaw have taken part in innovative research that uncovers the history of five generations of the West Germanic people called the Lombards. An article on the subject was published in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”.

Innovative perovskite waveguides

Scientists from the UW’s Faculty of Physics in collaboration with other researchers from Poland as well as Italy, Iceland, and Australia, have demonstrated the creation of perovskite crystals with predefined shapes that can serve in nonlinear photonics as waveguides, couplers, splitters, and modulators. The research results were published in “Nature Materials”.

New bolide camera in Ostrowik

Bolides are a special type of meteor with very high brightness. They can mark the fall of meteorites – fragments of asteroids or small bodies orbiting in our Solar System. In Ostrowik, where the North Station of the UW's Astronomical Observatory is located, a bolide camera has been launched as part of the newly established Skytinel network.

Exhibition opening in Peru

On 8th August, the opening of the exhibition “The Elite Wari Craftsmen of Castillo de Huarmey” took place at the Andres del Castillo Museum in Lima. The exhibition presents unique artefacts attributed to the Wari culture, discovered during the excavations at Castillo de Huarmey. The team of involved archaeologists includes researchers from the University of Warsaw.
